Collection RC5 consists of approximately 170 photographic prints. Most are formal, posed portraits of Native Americans in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Most photographs are identified by name of individual and tribe. Also some photographs of camp scenes, agency buildings, dwellings of officers’ families, trading posts, and boarding schools. Most photographs are by either William S. Soule or Cossand & Mosser.

 

Masterworks Arts and Artists Series

The Masterworks Series of exhibits and accompanying catalogs (“Hold Everything,” “Be Dazzled,” and “So Fine”) by the Heard Museum brought Native voices to the interpretation of its collections by inviting American Indian artists to serve as guest curators for each exhibit. The online Masterworks Series links the artwork featured in the three exhibits and catalogs with selected archival holdings on each artist in the Heard Museum Billie Jane Baguley Library and Archives. View the collection online →
